Proverbs 1:24
King James VersionSource notes
“Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;”
Context
21She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words,
22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
